IMPORTANT: When you install your appliance it is important to bear in mind its climatic rating. In order to find out the climatic rating of your appliance, you should check the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the front left edge of the inside of the fridge section. You will need to open the door of your appliance to be able to find it. The rating plate will indicate the ambient temperature range that your appliance will function correctly within. 7 Description of the appliance 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Control panel & thermostat control No frost freezing unit Interior illumination Freezing and storage drawers Large storage drawer Adjustable feet Wheels o The freezer drawers are protected against accidental extraction. o To remove a drawer from the appliance, open it and lift the front part upwards. Then pull it out. o Certain models are fitted with pull out slide guides which facilitate opening. o Pull out guide drawers are extracted by lifting the rear end and pulling out at an angle under 45 degrees. You need to reinsert them the opposite way, to put a pull out guide drawer back into position. 8 Using your Baumatic freezer Before switching on o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in Baumatic’s installation instructions. o After delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation process, are allowed to settle. o The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid detergent and water. o The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water. The interior and accessories should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning process has been completed. o There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool. During first use o When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the refrigerator reaches a cool enough temperature. o During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance. o If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or connecting it to your mains supply. 9 Control panel (Model with buttons) (Model without buttons) o A: Temperature selector and on/off button o B: Green LED (illuminates when the appliance is switched on) o C: Freezer alarm off button (model with buttons only) o D: Freezer alarm LED o E: Fast Freeze button (model with buttons only) o F: Fast Freeze LED o G: Digital freezer temperature display. Indicates the actual freezer temperature inside the appliance, from -16°C to -24°C* * Certain models only. 10 Turning on the appliance and setting the thermostat You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply and setting the thermostat. The thermostat is located on the right hand side of the control panel. o The appliance is switched on by turning dial A towards the Max position. o The green LED will come on when the dial moves past Min. o The appliance is switched off when the arrow on . the dial points to the ON/OFF symbol However the appliance is still under mains power. o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the freezer, depending on what position you have turned the thermostat control knob to. o Position cool. means that the appliance is switched off and will not o Position Min will give you a higher temperature inside the freezer. o Position Max will give you a lower temperature inside the freezer. o Ideally the thermostat should be set to the Eco position. o The freezer section can cool down to -18°C and lower. o IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room, the temperature of food and the amount of food that has been placed in the freezer and how often the door is opened, will all affect the temperature being maintained by the appliance. o On the maximum setting (position Max), your freezer will work harder to maintain a lower temperature. There is no need to run your appliance on this setting for prolonged periods and you should return the thermostat knob to the Eco position. 11 The digital display o On models with a digital display, when you are adjusting the thermostat position, the display will flash and indicate the set temperature. o When the flashing stops, the setting of the temperature is complete and it is stored in the appliance’s memory. o Please allow time for the appliance to reduce down to the desired temperature. o Each time the appliance is switched on for the first time, the digital display (G) indicates a temperature of -16°C and flashes. o This value will remain on the display until the actual temperature in the appliance drops below -16°C. o The flashing will then stop and the digital display will indicate the actual temperature within the freezer. The freezer compartment The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food. o The freezer compartment temperature must have already reached -18 degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to store food that is already frozen or freezing fresh food. o The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity of food at one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than 25 kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period. o Your appliance allows freezing in all drawers, but not more than 7 kg in any particular drawer, and 4 kg in the bottom drawer. o Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment, then the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and increase the amount of power that the appliance uses. o The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in regard to the maximum storage time. o Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time. o Do not let the already frozen packages touch the fresh ones. 12 Freezing fresh food o To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food specified above, you should activate the Fast Freeze function 24 hours prior to attempting freezing. o For smaller quantities of fresh food, you should activate the Fast Freeze function approximately 6 hours prior to attempting freezing.* *For more information on the Fast Freeze function, please see the “Setting the Fast Freeze function” o Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or packaging. This will help to make sure that the food doesn’t dry out or lose its flavour. It will also ensure that flavour does not transfer from other foods. o The food should be placed on the freezer compartment’s base. Do not allow fresh food to touch items that are already frozen. o After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen. If it is then the fast freeze function should be switched off. Tips on freezing o Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing frozen goods in. o Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are suitable for sealing bags and wrappings. o Before sealing a suitable bag, you should compress the air out of it, as this will help the food to freeze more easily. o Flat packages freeze more easily. 13 o If you are freezing liquid, then do not fill the container to the brim. Liquids will expand when being frozen. o Do not place bottles (glass or tin) containing liquids (especially sparkling liquids) into the freezer as they could cause the bottle to burst during freezing. Storing commercially frozen food o The storage time and recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods, are indicated on the packaging. o Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for storage and use of frozen food. o When shopping, be careful to choose food which is adequately packed and is provided with complete storage instructions. It should have been stored in a freezer where the temperature does not rise above -18°C. o Do not buy packages of food that are covered with frost. This could indicate that the package has thawed at least once before. o Take care that your frozen food packages do not start to thaw before you place them in your freezer. This will shorten the length of time that you can safely store the food for. 14 Defrosting frozen food o Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. o Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy the micro organisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable. o Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially fruits, vegetables and readymade meals. Fast freeze function (Model with buttons) o To activate the fast freeze function, press button E. o The orange LED light (F) will come on. o To turn off the fast freeze function, again press button E. o The orange LED light (F) will turn off. o If the fast freeze function is not switched off, then it will do so automatically after approximately 50 hours. (Model with no buttons) o Turn the thermostat dial (A) to the SF position. o The orange LED light (F) will come on. o To turn off the fast freeze function, turn the thermostat dial (A) back to the ECO position. o The orange LED light (F) will turn off. o If the fast freeze function is not switched off, then it will do so automatically after approximately 50 hours. o To repeat the fast freeze function if it switches off automatically, you will need to turn the dial back to the ECO position and then back to the SF position. The orange LED light (F) will come back on. 15 Making ice cubes o Remove the cap from the ice tray and fill it to the indicating mark with cold water or some other liquid, suitable for freezing. o Close it and place it in the door shelf. The ice tray can produce 8 cubes. o The period required for ice to form is 2-6 hours. It is recommended to make a quantity of ice, prior to the time that you require it. o Ice cubes are discharged from the tray by turning the tray upside down and placing it under cold running water. o Shake the tray, open the cover and pour the ice out. Freezer alarm o The red signal light (D) indicates that the appliance has sensed an excessive rise in temperature. o The light goes off automatically when the freezer cools to a temperature where there is no longer a danger to the food being stored in the appliance. o When the appliance is first switched on, there is an inbuilt 24 hour delay to the freezer alarm switching on. This will prevent the alarm triggering unnecessarily whilst the appliance is getting down to working temperature. (Model with buttons) o These models also have an audible alarm, in the form of an intermittent beep, as well as the red light. o The alarm can be cancelled by pressing button (C). o The alarm will sound every 24 hours, if the temperature in the freezer is still not low enough to safely store food. 16 Defrosting your freezer o Your appliance is frost free, so there is no need to defrost it manually. o You may occasionally see the appearance of a frost layer, but over a period of time the frost free system will remove it. Cleaning and maintenance WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT. o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it. o The freezer compartment should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher. o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly. o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply. 17 Replacing the light bulb WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB. o Remove the plastic cover and replace the bulb with a new one. o The bulb that you should use is an E14 max, which is the same as the bulb originally fitted by the factory. o Please dispose of the bulb correctly. o The light bulb is not covered by Baumatic’s guarantee. Installation IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage, read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The rating plate can be found on the front left edge of the inside of the refrigerator.

Unscrew the leg support screws (C) - left and right, and remove the leg support cover (D). Then place it on the opposite side. o Unscrew, remove and then replace the position of the end switch (E) and decorative peg (F) (for models with forced door closing system). o Unscrew the three screws fixing the bottom hinge and then fix the bottom hinge on the opposite side. o To fit the door on the opposite side of the freezer proceed with the above procedure in reverse. Troubleshooting IMPORTANT: If your freezer appears not to be operating properly, before contacting the Baumatic Service Department, please refer to the checklist below. My freezer does not appear to be working/there is no power to my appliance. o Check that the plug is fully inserted into the power socket. o Check that there is power to your mains supply (e.g. that there hasn’t been a power cut or that the fuse hasn’t blown). o Check that the thermostat inside the appliance has not been turned to the off position. o Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds to the voltage stated on the rating plate of your appliance. My freezer appears to be performing poorly o Check that the appliance isn’t overloaded and that food hasn’t been packed too tightly into it. 22 o The thermostat setting is too low, you should turn the thermostat up higher. o Ensure that the door is closing properly and that the door has not been opened for a prolonged period in error. o Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for your appliance. My freezer is noisy o The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipework of the appliance may make a slight noise, even if the compressor is not running. o If the noise worsens or the appliance gets louder than normal; check that it is leveled off correctly, that nothing is touching the rear of the fridge and that nothing placed inside the appliance is rattling. Ice is forming inside my frost free freezer o Check that food has not been pushed too far back inside the appliance, so that it is in contact with the inner back wall. o Check that the door is sealing correctly. Clean or replace the door gasket if it is dirty or damaged. o Frequent opening of the door or the door is being left open for too long. o Inserting hot food in the freezer. The red warning light keeps coming on o Frequent opening of the door or the door is being left open for too long. o Door not closing properly, check that the door gasket is sealing properly. o There has been a long power failure on your mains supply o An excessive quantity of fresh food has been inserted at once. The door is difficult to open o If you attempt to open the door immediately after you have just closed it, you may experience some resistance. This happens because a certain quantity of cold air escapes from the appliance through the open door and is replaced by warm ambient air. o Cooling of such air creates negative pressure (a vacuum) and suction, which prevents easy opening of the door. This will 23 normalise after several minutes and you should be able to open the door with ease again. The green LED is flashing o Contact the Baumatic Service Department on telephone number 0118 933 6911. An error code of E1 appears on the digital display o Contact the Baumatic Service Department on telephone number 0118 933 6911. Troubleshooting helpful hint o If the above hints do not seem to cure the difficulty that you are facing, then you should turn the thermostat dial to the off position and disconnect the power cord from your mains supply. o Wait ten minutes and then reconnect the appliance to your mains supply and turn the thermostat dial back to it’s normal operating position (ECO).
